Course Description
Biomedical Engineering is a really exciting field which will improve the lives of many people around the world. It uses creativity and innovation to solve many medical problems.
Biomedical engineering develops the technology which is transforming the future of worldwide medicine and healthcare, integrating engineering with the human body.
From improving understanding of how our bodies function and respond, to the biomaterials from which we are made, to the design and development of medical implants – knee joints, heart valves and prosthetic limbs - biomedical engineers find creative ways to save and improve the quality of people’s lives.
The Biomedical Engineering programmes at Queen Mary University of London offer a cutting-edge curriculum that combines the principles of engineering and biology to address the most pressing health challenges facing the world. They have been designed to support you to become a critical thinker, using the fundamentals of engineering and modern analytical tools.
Our programmes are built on our renowned research in Bioengineering which ranks 2nd in the UK for our research output, focused on our expertise in tissue engineering, biomaterials, biomechanics, implantable devices, and healthcare robotics. We also introduce students to exciting emerging topics, led by our researchers, such as digital health and artificial intelligence, 3D bioprinting, organ-on-a-chip technology, mechanobiology, digital twins, brain-computer interface and nanomedicine.
Our goal is to provide an exciting hands-on experience, leadership training, and a platform to help you make an impact in the field and to become the next generation of biomedical engineers. We encourage you to become an independent learner, helping you to learn what is needed, not only what is taught, and also to develop the skill to support life-long learning which will mean you can adapt to a changing world. We will support your use of creativity to solve problems and use of practical hands-on tools to support your innovative ideas.
You will meet people who have developed ideas, leading to healthcare products and the spin out of companies that have an impact worldwide. For example, Apatech, spun out of Queen Mary, produces innovative synthetic bone scaffolds with an improved biological response compared to standard treatments. These have been implanted into over 400,000 patients in over 30 countries, generating sales revenues of over £10M p.a.
Our uniqueness is that we offer a combination of possibilities for students:
- An accredited engineering degree covering the breadth and depth of bioengineering aligned with our world-leading research; Queen Mary Engineering is ranked 2nd in the latest REF2021 survey of UK universities
- An inclusive, approachable and supportive department that values and nurtures accessibility, diversity and social mobility; Queen Mary is ranked 1st for social mobility amongst all UK universities
Our programmes are distinctive
We have recently undertaken a review of our programmes to ensure that they will prepare you for life beyond 2030 and ensure they reflect the global challenges facing both our society and your future as engineers. We have developed the modules we offer in consultation with our students, staff and industry to enhance your student experience and graduate employability. The SEMS graduate attributes that we will support you developing throughout your degree will help you to develop the knowledge and skills you need to succeed both personally and professionally. Using this framework, you will recognise and record the wide-ranging skills that you develop over your programme, reflect on what you want to do in the future and work with the tools you need to effectively market yourself to future employers.
